  bbox,
  order = 3,

Approximate an existing WCS as a TAN-SIP WCS

The fit is performed by evaluating the WCS at a uniform grid of points
within a bounding box.

Parameters
----------
wcs : `lsst.afw.geom.SkyWcs`
    wcs to approximate
bbox : `lsst.geom.Box2I`
    the region over which the WCS will be fit
order : `int`
    order of SIP fit
nx : `int`
    number of grid points along x
ny : `int`
    number of grid points along y
iterations : `int`
    number of times to iterate over fitting
skyTolerance : `lsst.geom.Angle`
    maximum allowed difference in world coordinates between
    input wcs and approximate wcs (default is 0.001 arcsec)
pixelTolerance : `float`
    maximum allowed difference in pixel coordinates between
    input wcs and approximate wcs (default is 0.02 pixels)
useTanWcs : `bool`
    send a TAN version of wcs to the fitter? It is documented to require that,
    but I don't think the fitter actually cares

Returns
-------
fitWcs : `lsst.afw.geom.SkyWcs`
    the fit TAN-SIP WCS
